Top CI/CD Tools For Improving DevOps Pipeline

Continuous integration and continuous delivery or CI/CD is a method of delivering apps to the customers by introducing automation to the stages of application building and deployment. They introduce automation and continuous monitoring throughout the lifecycle of apps–from the integration and testing phases to the delivery and deployment.

Specifically, CI concerns itself with automating the integration of code changes from multiple contributors to a single project; on the other hand, the CD automatically deploys all code changes into the testing and production environment right after the build stage.

Taken together, the CI/CD practices are often referred to as ‘CI/CD pipeline’, which are supported by development and operations teams that work together with a DevOps or site reliability engineering (SRE) approach. Here we discuss some of the most prominent CI/CD, in no particular order.

Automating Security in DevOps: Top 15 Tools

Cybersecurity is a big concern for many companies. With data breaches happening more and more as attacks increase in sophistication, teams are looking at all of the options they have to prevent them.

Since DevOps has taken root as the standard way to deploy applications to production, it’s worth figuring out how to include security in your CI/CD pipelines.

Background on DevSecOps

There’s already a field dedicated to adding security to your existing DevOps flow called DevSecOps. Instead of waiting until the end of the process to run security checks, like in the Waterfall method, you include them throughout the different run stages. In DevSecOps, this is referred to as “shifting to the left”.

It’s called this because you move things that are traditionally at the end of the deployment cycle to happen earlier in the process. You’re able to use multiple automated tools to run checks for cross-site scripting, SQL injection, and to check for any other of the OWASP Top 10 security risks.

You still need security experts to interpret the results and ensure there are not many false positives, but adding security in your CI/CD pipeline helps automate a lot of processes that were manual before.

This saves time on getting deployments out to customers because you don’t have to wait until the end to learn about security risks. That means the code won’t need to be updated at the last minute, which always causes delays.

A number of tools are available to help you do security checks at every phase of your CI/CD run. A basic CI/CD pipeline will include a build phase, testing phase, delivery phase, and finally a deploy phase.

The goal with DevSecOps is to shift security to the left or to move the checks to earlier parts of the process.

We’ll go over 15 of the top DevSecOps tools and which phases they help find vulnerabilities at.

How To Setup a CI/CD Pipeline With Kubernetes 2020 - DZone DevOps

When it comes to DevOps, the word that clicks in mind is CI/CD pipeline. Let’s have a look at Definition of CI/CD pipeline:

CI is straightforward and stands for continuous integration, a practice that focuses on making preparing a release easier. But CD can either mean continuous delivery or continuous deployment and while those two practices have a lot in common, they also have a significant difference that can have critical consequences for a business.

• Atlassian.com

CI stands for Continuous Integration, and CD stands for Continuous Delivery and Continuous Deployment. You can think of it as a process which is similar to a software development lifecycle.

• Edureka.co

Systems provide automation of the software build and validation process-driven continuously by running a configured sequence of operations every time a software change is checked into the source code management repository. These are closely associated with agile development practices and closely related to the emerging DevOps toolsets.

• Gartner.com

In the DevOps world, we have a plethora of toolsets that can help and leverage CICD capabilities.

• Docker
• Kubernetes
• Proxies
• Git
• Jenkins/ Jenkins X
• Ansible
• Chef
• Code Pipeline, etc

This blog gives direction to up and running your CICD pipeline running on the Kubernetes cluster by the GitLab CICD pipeline.

Prerequisites

• Hands-on knowledge of Docker containers
• Hands-on knowledge of Kubernetes architecture and understanding
• The Idea of how to write YAML files
• Up and Running Kubernetes cluster

Serverless CI/CD on the AWS Cloud

CI/CD pipelines have long played a major role in speeding up the development and deployment of cloud-native apps. Cloud services like AWS lend themselves to more agile deployment through the services they offer as well as approaches such as Infrastructure as Code. There is no shortage of tools to help you manage your CI/CD pipeline as well.

While the majority of development teams have streamlined their pipelines to take full advantage of cloud-native features, there is still so much that can be done to refine CI/CD even further. The entire pipeline can now be built as code and managed either via Git as a single source of truth or by using visual tools to help guide the process.

The entire process can be fully automated. Even better, it can be made serverless, which allows the CI/CD pipeline to operate with immense efficiency. Git branches can even be utilized as a base for multiple pipelines. Thanks to the three tools from Amazon; AWS CodeCommit, AWS CodeBuild, and AWS CodeDeploy, serverless CI/CD on the AWS cloud is now easy to set up.
